New York, Sept. 1.-THE small
pox has broken out with consider
able virulence off the east shore of
Staten Island and the residents of
Stapleton, where its ravages are the
most severe, are greatly alarmed.
Within two weeks four persons have
died of it, and it is now said that
there are nineteen persons suffering
from the smallpox within the viii
lage limits of Stapleton. Fears are
entertained that the health authori-
ties are unable to cope with the con-
tagion. The disease has been al
lowed to spread from a single case.
The method of working by the
Health Inspector is very imperfect.
In two cases persons have died with
out medical attendance, and while
the houses in which they lay were
open to the neighbors.

portion of this city, caused by the
third brake within short time of
the 36-inch water main which sup

Gus which has yet occurred, and it
is feared that the northern part of
the city will be without water for
some days to come. The break oc-
Cured about 3 o'clock this morning.
Without warning, suddenly with
a loud report the water spouted up
in the air. The residents in the
'neighborhood were startled by the
noise and in a few minutes the
vicinity of the accident was alive
with excited and alarmed people.
On the side Of l. street between
Twentieth and Twenty-frst streets,
a column of water broke from the
pavement with roar that could be
heard squares away. L street, from
Nineteenth to Twenty-first, was one
great river of water pouring along
like torrent and deep enough to
float boats. The property damaged
is considerable, but this is as no.

ence to thousands of citizens and

with buckets in hand were walking
from place to place trying to obtain
enough to prepare morning meal.

Fishery Commission will request the
